Simon Says Stamp Nutcracker Christmas card with a pink ballerina holding a nutcracker on a drum. Other decorations include candy and "Merry Christmas" text.

Hello Lovelies! With just a bit of coloring, there's a whole lot of magic in these fairytale images from Simon Says Stamp's Nutcracker Christmas stamp set. Instead of sugarplums dancing in my head, I had candies dancing over the heads of my ballerina and soldier for this sweet card and tag pair.

I've been obsessed with adding textured backgrounds on my cards lately. Here I decided to ink the edges of my solid colored pink and green embossed cardstock in a darker ink to create a spotlight for my Nutcracker couple.
